Alice Tinted Glasses: What I Wore At... Courteeners @ Liverpool Echo Arena

Friday was the long awaited final night of Courteeners tour, we'd been anticipating this gig for a long time as it was the biggest night of the tour and it was also the alternative to the usual Manchester Christmas gig.

It was a very early start for myself and Ashton, we headed up to Liverpool super early to shop and sight see (or so we planned!) we arrived at lunch time after a very long train journey and decided to head to the hostel to dump all of our luggage!

It was absolutely pouring when we arrived and by the time we got to the hostel we were soaked! So we decided to stay and dry off in the hostel for a short time and then it was time to head to town. The rain definitely put us off and we only managed a few shops only making the essential stops! We seemed refuge up near the ice rink in a cute little ski lodge where we warned up with some mulled wine while we waited for our other friend to arrive.

Once Sophie arrived we had planned to head to Smugglers Cove as we'd heard great things about it (apparently so had everyone else in Liverpool) but as it was a Friday night it was fully booked and we didn't manage to get a table, we headed over to Revolution instead we indulged in lots of fab cocktails and I had a fab goats cheese pizza (absolutely delicious!) We were already running quite late at this point and the bar quickly started filling up with Courteeners fans, this was our queue to leave and get ready!!

We like to be late for everything and although we'd Planned to see the support we didn't manage to get there in time! We had spent too much time getting ready and drinking wine from our fab new jam jar cups!

We arrived at the arena after the support had finished but in enough time (we thought) to get to our seats before the main event! As we were very luckily and kindly put on the guest list again we had to a different queue which turned out to be a bit of a free for all and it took agesss for us to get into the arena! We wanted to quickly grab a drink before we went to our seats so we ended up missing the first two songs (oops!). It was so strange having seats (I don't think we sat down once!) and not being down in the action, but it was fab all the same and was sort of nice to experience the gig from a different perspective and also to remain safe from beer flingers! The set list was amazing as usual and the atmosphere was on fire! The boys definitely didn't disappoint! We had such a good view although my photos don't show it!!!!

After the gig we headed to Almost Famous we had wristbands for the exclusive after party as we were on the guestlist so we thought we'd check it out! It was such a nice party we knew quite a few people there so it turned out to be a lovely way to end the tour on a high and our time in Liverpool! I'm actually really bad (all of us are) and didn't take any photos while we were actually out but I can guarantee we had a fabulous time!

The next day we woke with slightly sore heads and needed some greasy food to cure our hangovers! Sophie had already headed to Manchester so Ashton and I headed back to Almost Famous, this time for food rather than booze! We knew from previous experience we couldn't handle a whole burger and fries each so we shared a Wonderland burger between the two of us, this was still a little too much!! We needed to make sure we didn't get home to late so after food we headed back to the station and home, I slept all the way absolutely shattered! Then we hung out at Ashtons with a big dominos and X factor a great way to end the weekend!!

It's always tough deciding what to wear for a gig, especially when you are going out after! I had bought this velvet co ord from Ark a couple of weeks ago and not got around to wearing it so I thought it was the perfect outfit, I wore my new Lamoda boots which proved to be the most comfortable shoes I own (definitely recommend them to anyone!). I wimped out a little though and wore sheer tights I'm not sure my legs would've survived the cold otherwise!!
